They have a permit to stay at Freedom Plaza acrossthe street, but people are not allowed to sleep in the RRB or on the sidewa lk out front (though the building isopen 24 hours, and 50 they can go inside if they go through security and can stay as long as they remainpeaceful) . If people attempt to set up camp to sleep in the building, FPS will ask them to leave and if theyrefuse, they wilt be arrested (by either FPS or DC Police Department, whoever responds first) .Be low is a draft statement to have at the ready, if that happens.

to physically occupy Manhattan's Wall Street on Sept. 17 In protest of various U.S. government policies .San Francisco police arrested more than 40 protesters last month during a rowdy demonstration organized byAnonymous that disrupted the evening commute. The group called for the demonstration after the Bay AreaRapid Transit system shut off it cell service in San Francisco statiol1s to quell a planned protest over policeshooting on a subway platform."Anonymous' activities increased th roughout 2011 with a number of high-profile attacks targeting bolh public andprivate sector entities," one of the buitet,ns issued last month said.Some members of the group have also calted for shutting down Facebook in November over privacy issues,although other Anonymous followers are disavowing such an attack - underscoring just how loosely organized thegroup is and how problematic it is to police."Anonymous insist they have no centralized operational leadership, which has been a significant hurdle forgovernment and law enforcement entities attempting to curb their actions," an Aug. 1 Homeland Security bulletlnnoted. "With that being said , we assess with high confidence that Anonymous and associated groups Will continueto exploit vulnerable publicly available Web servers, websites, computer networks, and other digital mformationmediums for the foreseeable future."Followers posting to Twitter and chatting in Internet Relay Channels insist there are no defined leaders ofAnonymous and that it's more of a philosophy than a formal club, though a small group of members do the mostorganizing on line."Anonymous is not a group, it does not have leaders, people can do ANYTHING under the flag of their country ,uwrole one of the more vocal members who asked not to be identified."Anything can be a threat to Nat!onal Security , really," the member said in an email interview. "Any hacker groupcan be_The member said thai the group as a whole wasn't a national security threat, but conceded some individualsacting as Anonynous may be considered dangerous.OHS' latest bulletin, issued Sept. 3, warned the group has been using social media networks to urge followersworking in the financial industry to sabotage their employers' computer systems.The OHS warning comes on the heels of several Anonymous-led protests of the Bay Area's transit agency thatled to FBI raids of 35 homes and dozens of arrests , as wei! as to the Indictment of 14 followers in JUly on felonycomputer hacking charges in connection with a coordinated "denial of service attack" against Paypal's websitelast year.Security officials said the "OOoS" attaCkS occur when a website is overwhelmed by malicious messages carriedout by thousands of fonowers , usually With eaSily downloadable software."Anonymous has shown through recently reported incIdents that it has members who have relatively moreadvanced technical capabilities who can also marshal large numbers of willing, but less teChnical, participants forODoS activities." the August DHS bulletin said ,Anonymous orchestrated the crashing of Paypal late last year after the online financial service suspendedWikileaks' account after the website published confidential diplomatic cables and other sensitive U.S. governmentinteIHgence. The group also targeted Visa , Mastercard and others for the same reason and has carried outseveral other hacks during the year. Last month, for example, the group claimed responsibility for hacking awebsite belonging to the Bay Area Rapid Transit agency and releasing personal information of 2,000 passengers."Anonymous is incredibly active," said Josh ShaUl, chief technology officer of Application Security, Inc., a NewYork-based provider of database security software. It's rare to have a hacking group willing to work outside of theshadows. These guys are quite brazen ."Anonymous emerged in 2003 from an Internet chat channel where members or9anized random Web incidents fortheir own amusement. By 2008, the prankster nature of Anonymous morphed into "hacktivism," where memberssabotaged websites and leaked confidential in formation for political purposes,Investigators suspect a splinter Anonymous group known as LulzSec was responsible for a June 15 denial ofservice attack on the CIA's public website.This summer, Anonymous claimed credit for hacking into a Booz Allen Hamilton website and leaking emailaddresses of 90,000 U,S, mBitary personnel and hacking a Monsanto Co . website and releasing personal data of2,500 employees.Until July, law enforcement Officials around the world had arrested just a handful of suspected hackers thought tobe affiliated with Anonymous. But on July 19, the FBI fanned out across the United States and raided more than35 homes. seizing dozens of computers and arrested 16 on charges that they participated in the Pay pal attack .tn response, Anonymous said it hacked a website on Sept 1 belonging to police chiefs in Texas. The groupposted personal information such as emails about internal investigations before the site was shut down_FBI investigators in court filings said that the raids and arrests were made from a list of 1,000 computer users thatPaypal cyber-security workers identified as Ihe most active attackers.

Berger said. "They don't want that story ou t there. We're coordinati ng nationally . sowhy wouldn't they?"Two civil rights groups seem to share Berger's skepticism. The Partnership for Civil Justice Fundand the National Lawyers Guild Mass Defense Committee have filed a Freedom of Intonnationrequest for any conununications between federal law enforcement agencies and local po licerelated 10 the protests, according to The Examiner report.On Tuesday, the Associated Press rep-orted that mayors and police chiefs in cities around thecountry strategized with each other about how to deal with the Occupy protests.From the AP:

As COncerns over safety and sanitation grew at the encampments over the last month, offic ialsfrom nearly 40 cities turned to each other on conference ca lls. sharing what worked and whathasn't as they grappled witll the leaderless movement.

Berger said he believed a ll of the effort spent arresting and charging protestors would gave beenbetter spent investigating and prosecuting those responsible for the economic crisis a commoncomplaint in the Occupy Wall Street movement.j'lt speaks to how this country works right now that we saw such a giant investment in resourcesand huge amount of concern directed at the occupation whi le WaH Street gets off scot-free,"Berger said. "[fthey spent half the time worrying about how to go after those c ri minals as theydid going after us, we wouldn't even need to be out there."
